Last updated: September 2026
F&G Annuities & Life, Fidelity National Financial's annuities and life arm in Des Moines (NYSE: FG), hosted 25 interns from 8 colleges across 15+ departments in Summer 2026 and it is the only part of the FNF group with a live Summer 2027 internship today. FNF itself, the Jacksonville title insurer and the nation's largest, had zero internships posted anywhere in September 2026: two boards, 53 open requisitions, not one student role. F&G is a real company in its own right, established in 1959, trading as NYSE: FG with approximately $2.7 billion of gross sales and $55.9 billion of assets under management as of Q2 2026. It publishes what almost no employer publishes: a complete fall campus-recruiting calendar of fifteen dated events at five universities between 1 September and 16 October 2026, alongside one live requisition, Intern, Actuarial (Summer 2027), in Des Moines.

What Is a F&G Annuities & Life Internship?
An F&G Annuities & Life internship is a paid summer placement at a NYSE-listed annuity and life insurer headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. F&G was established in 1959, has protected over 1,000,000 people across the United States, and reported $2.7 billion of gross sales and $55.9 billion of assets under management in Q2 2026. Its majority stockholder, Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF), holds approximately 70% of F&G following a 2022 partial spinoff. F&G is not a title insurance company and does not sell title insurance; that is FNF's business. F&G's internship program spans 15+ departments including Actuarial, Accounting, Finance, IT, HR, Marketing and more, with a cohort structure, workshops led by subject matter experts, executive networking, and social events. FNF itself posts no internships at all.
When Do F&G Annuities & Life Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
F&G Annuities & Life recruits in the fall for the following summer's intern class. The company publishes its complete campus-event calendar, which is rare, giving applicants exact dates and schools. One Summer 2027 requisition, Intern Actuarial, is already live on F&G's dedicated intern board in Des Moines. F&G hosted interns across 15+ departments in Summer 2026, and additional requisitions are expected through autumn 2026 as departments open their requests. No deadline is published, but fall is when the action happens.
The Intern, Actuarial (Summer 2027) requisition is live in Des Moines. F&G's fall campus calendar runs 15 events across 5 universities from September 1 through October 16, 2026. Apply now and attend campus events if you are at Iowa State, Drake, University of Iowa, UNI, or University of Nebraska.
F&G's 15 campus events are running now. Five are explicitly actuarial, including career nights at Iowa State and Nebraska and career fairs at Iowa and Drake. Additional intern requisitions expected across the named departments (Accounting, IT, HR, Marketing, and more).
Interview process (details not published by F&G). Expect follow-up from the requisitions and campus contacts.
F&G internship runs from F&G's Des Moines headquarters. Interns join a cohort with peer support, workshops, executive networking, social events, and volunteer opportunities.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
F&G recruits in the fall for the following summer's interns, and it publishes its campus calendar (rare among employers). The fifteen events run from September 1 to October 16, 2026, which means the recruiting window is concentrated and finite. F&G hosted 25 interns in Summer 2026 but only has one posted today, so each new requisition will fill quickly from a pool of candidates who are already in the system. Apply to the live actuarial role now, set an alert on the intern board, and attend any campus event you can reach. The required salary-expectations field on the application means you also need to research Des Moines actuarial intern rates before you open the form, not after.
Which F&G Annuities & Life Internship Programs Should You Target?
F&G offers paid summer internships across the business plus a pathway to full-time employment. The parent company, Fidelity National Financial, does not offer an internship program.
| Program | Focus | Duration | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer Internship | Department-specific project work across 15+ departments including Actuarial, Accounting, IT, HR, Marketing, Financial Reporting, Investment Accounting, and more | Summer (exact weeks not published) | Paid; Des Moines; intern cohort with workshops, executive networking, social events, and volunteering |
| Intern, Actuarial (live) | Supporting actuarial teams in Risk Management, Asset Liability Management, Valuation, Corporate, Modeling, or Pricing & Design (Annuity, Life, Institutional) | Summer 2027 | Excel, VBA, SQL, R, AXIS; 1-3 exams preferred; Des Moines |
See all openings on the F&G intern careers page. F&G hosted 25 interns from 8 colleges across 15+ departments in Summer 2026. Additional Summer 2027 requisitions are expected through autumn 2026.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
F&G's eligibility criteria come from its one live Summer 2027 requisition (Actuarial). Requirements for other departments are not yet published.
• Education: working towards a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or a related technical field.
• Actuarial exams: 1 to 3 actuarial exams passed preferred, with an interest in pursuing FSA.
• Product knowledge: prior exposure to Fixed Indexed Annuity, Universal Life, or Pension Risk Transfer products preferred but not required.
• Software: exposure to AXIS or similar actuarial modeling software preferred. The role uses Excel, VBA, SQL, R, and AXIS.
• GPA: not published. F&G states no minimum GPA on the requisition or the intern page.
• Work authorization: F&G asks whether you need sponsorship now and in the future rather than excluding sponsored candidates outright. DACA, TPS, and VAWA beneficiaries should answer No; F-1 OPT, E-1/E-2/E-3, L-2, and H-4 holders should answer Yes.
Does F&G Require a Minimum GPA?
No published GPA requirement exists for F&G internships. The live actuarial requisition states no GPA minimum or preference. F&G screens on actuarial exams passed, technical tool exposure, and product knowledge rather than on a GPA threshold. If you have passed even one actuarial exam, that carries more weight than your transcript.
What Skills Does F&G Annuities & Life Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
F&G's live actuarial requisition is unusually specific about tools and tasks. The intern will apply actuarial principles to analyze results using Microsoft Excel, VBA, SQL, R, and AXIS actuarial modeling software. The output is professional result summaries and process documentation, with occasional presentations to internal audiences. The broader internship program (across 15+ departments) covers a wider range including accounting, marketing, IT, HR, and business intelligence, but only the actuarial track has a live requisition to read from.

How Is Demand for Actuarial & Insurance Interns Moving Right Now?
Actuarial & insurance intern hiring right now: September 2026
Across US actuarial and insurance intern postings tracked this week · aggregate market data, all employers
September 2026 is this tracker's baseline month. The Des Moines actuarial market is competitive, but F&G's published campus calendar and single live requisition give a motivated applicant a concrete path to act on right now.

Build These Skills Before You Apply
And every skill in the requisition maps to a remote Externship where you finish a real company project before the window closes.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Financial modeling & actuarial analysis | Actuarial internship: Excel, VBA, SQL, R, AXIS; apply actuarial principles to analyze results; produce professional summaries | Yinan Zhao Investing & Financial Modeling |
| Data analysis & business intelligence | F&G's BI & Analytics department hosts interns; the actuarial role produces result summaries and process documentation | Breaking Games E-Commerce Data Analysis |
| Strategy & business rationale | F&G's Corporate Development, Planning & Profitability, and Product departments host interns; the application requires a "why this role" essay | Corporate Strategy Externship mentored by Eric Ries |
F&G's actuarial requisition names Excel, VBA, SQL, R, and AXIS as the toolkit, and asks for exposure to annuity and life products. A completed financial modeling or data analysis externship gives an applicant exactly the kind of quantitative project evidence the application's required "why this role" free-text field is built for.
What Is the F&G Annuities & Life Application and Interview Process Like?
F&G does not publish its interview process. What is documented:
1. Go to fglife.com/about/careers/intern and apply through the Greenhouse-hosted form. Resume required, cover letter optional, plus structured questions including a required "why this role" free-text and a required salary-expectations field.
2. Or meet a recruiter in person at one of F&G's 15 campus events between September 1 and October 16, 2026 at Iowa State, Drake, University of Iowa, UNI, and University of Nebraska.
3. Set a job alert on the intern board. F&G hosted 15+ departments of interns but has one posted today, so more requisitions are expected.
4. Interview stages are not published. F&G describes no round structure. Prepare for behavioral and technical questions based on the requisition's specifics: actuarial principles, Excel/VBA/SQL/R/AXIS, and Fixed Indexed Annuity/Universal Life/Pension Risk Transfer product knowledge.
5. Outcome. One intern testimonial describes extending an internship and later accepting a full-time offer. No conversion rate is published.
Because F&G publishes no interview process detail, the strongest preparation is to know the products (Fixed Indexed Annuity, Universal Life, Pension Risk Transfer), have AXIS exposure if possible, and write a strong answer to the required "why this role" application field. Our HireVue question guide with a free AI mock tool covers the behavioral-question format most insurers use.
What the Community Says
F&G has a very thin public community footprint. The one first-hand account of an F&G internship on Reddit comes from 2020, before the company rebranded from Fidelity & Guaranty Life.
The one first-hand F&G intern account on Reddit is from an Iowa State student who interned at Fidelity & Guaranty Life (F&G's pre-2022 name) in downtown Des Moines. The company deliberately kept the summer in person, and parking was paid or reimbursed. The intern spent the run-up asking locals about commuting and office norms for what he called his first professional office job.
On the parent company's side, law students and recent grads describe FNF's entry-level in-house counsel roles as flexible on bar timing and a feeder into title underwriting counsel. One commenter said there is desperate need for talent in the title industry and that he was hired with no title or escrow experience at all. This is the parent's legal track, not F&G's insurance internship.
FNF publishes an unusually detailed fraud warning: scammers use the FNF brand and names of FNF executives to contact job seekers via email, direct message, or video call and issue counterfeit offers. A Reddit thread describes exactly this pattern, with a fake recruiter pushing a candidate to Skype from a Gmail address. Verify every approach to either F&G or FNF against the employer's own careers portal.
How Do You Stand Out at a Company Most Students Have Never Heard Of?
Four moves. First, apply to the live actuarial requisition now, while it is the only one posted. Being in the system early when F&G has 15+ departments to fill gives you the widest placement options. Second, pass at least one actuarial exam before you apply. The requisition says 1 to 3 exams preferred, and in an actuarial market that is the single clearest differentiator available. Third, learn AXIS. The requisition names it twice, and most undergraduates have never touched it. Even coursework familiarity is worth putting on the resume. Fourth, write the required "why this role" application answer with specifics about F&G's products: Fixed Indexed Annuity, Universal Life, Pension Risk Transfer. Being able to explain what a pension risk transfer is will separate you from most applicants at a company where prior product exposure is preferred but not required.
What Other Companies Should You Consider?
F&G's peer set spans US life insurance and annuity carriers, which is the industry it actually competes in for actuarial, finance, and audit interns.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 F&G internship?
No. Summer 2026 has already happened. F&G hosted 25 interns from 8 colleges across 15+ departments that summer. The live cycle is Summer 2027: as of September 2026, F&G had one open Summer 2027 requisition (Intern, Actuarial) in Des Moines with no published close date, and its fall campus calendar of 15 events was running. More Summer 2027 requisitions are expected through autumn 2026.
Does Fidelity National Financial offer internships?
No. This is the honest answer, and it is the reason most readers land on this page. On September 7, 2026, FNF's Workday board carried 53 open requisitions and not one was an internship, co-op, trainee, or student role. Its second board, an FNF-branded iCIMS instance, returned no jobs at all. FNF has no student page, no early-careers page, and no internship program. The internship is at its subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life, a separate company in Des Moines trading as NYSE: FG.
What is the difference between F&G and Fidelity National Financial?
Different companies, different industries, different cities. F&G Annuities & Life (NYSE: FG) was established in 1959, is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, and sells retail annuities, life insurance, and institutional products. Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF) is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida and is the nation's largest title insurance company. FNF holds approximately 70% of F&G. Neither is Fidelity Investments or FIS.
How much does the F&G internship pay?
Neither F&G nor its parent publishes an intern pay figure. F&G says only that its internships are paid. The application form makes salary expectations a required question, and no aggregator has a usable F&G intern salary sample. Research Des Moines actuarial intern rates before you apply, because you will be asked to name a number.
What are the requirements for the actuarial internship?
Working towards a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or a related technical field. One to three actuarial exams passed is preferred, with an interest in pursuing FSA. Prior exposure to Fixed Indexed Annuity, Universal Life, or Pension Risk Transfer products is preferred but not required, as is exposure to AXIS actuarial modeling software. No GPA minimum is stated.
Does F&G sponsor international students?
F&G does not say. Its application asks whether you need sponsorship now and in the future, rather than excluding sponsored candidates outright, and publishes guidance: DACA, TPS, and VAWA beneficiaries should answer No; F-1 OPT, E-1/E-2/E-3, L-2, and H-4 holders should answer Yes. Whether F&G sponsors interns is not published. Ask the recruiter.
Where does F&G recruit on campus?
F&G publishes a fifteen-event fall campus schedule at Iowa State University, Drake University, the University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Nebraska, running from September 1 to October 16, 2026. Five events are explicitly actuarial. F&G adds that you can also apply at colleges and universities across the country.
Does the F&G internship lead to a full-time job?
F&G publishes no conversion rate. One intern testimonial on F&G's own page describes extending an internship and later accepting a full-time offer, but that is a company-selected testimonial, not a statistic. F&G runs a cohort program with workshops, executive networking, and social events, which is the apparatus of a pipeline rather than a one-off.
F&G's fall campus calendar is running now, and the actuarial requisition is the only one posted so far across 15+ departments that hosted interns last summer. Spend the runway building proof: a remote Externship turns "interested in actuarial work" into a finished project an autumn 2026 application can point at.
